   (F ⊬ G)   
   "⊬" means that a sequence of inference steps from   
   F to G do not exist.

   Since is begins with F it is in F.   
   That people do not usually look at this degree   
   of detail do not mean that I am incorrect.

   All the I am doing is looking at these things at   
   the deeper level beyond indoctrination. I am directly   
   examining the foundations of logic and math.   
      
   Everyone else takes these as "given" as if from   
   the mind of God.

   I understand meaning better then anyone else.   
   "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"   
   for this entire body is one giant semantic tautology.

              My 28 year goal has been to make
       "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
       reliably computable.

              This required establishing a new foundation
